Language Delay

Language delay can be early signs of associated disorders including autism spectrum disorder, verbal dyspraxia, or auditory processing or hearing disorders. Furthermore, language delays can lead to learning problems, which are usually identified in later school years.

Speech and Language

Early detection of a speech and language delay leads to early intervention, which has a host of benefits, including implementing compensatory strategies and environment modification and decreasing the impact that the child’s speech and language delay has on their learning, communication and social skills in the future.
